Gypsy's Rambles, Wanders, Wonders and Blunders

Yes and no
Yes for regular tomato sauce type lasagna. Not so good for vegetarian without the tomato sauce (DD1 is intolerant to gluten AND nightshades). The noodles didn't cook because they weren't covered in "liquid" (I guess). Crunchy noodles in your lasagna is a no go.

Is lasagna alfredo an option? Vegetarian lasagna....what do you put between the noodles? Tofu?

DD would love the Alfredo option but DW doesn't like Alfredo

One of the veg lasagna recipes used cottage cheese (why NOT Ricotta?? No idea), mozzarella and spinach. No "meat substitutes".

Rich, meaty mushrooms are all the "meat substitute" needed in a veggie lasagna!

My family's late Christmas dinner was today. It went well! The food was great, everyone got along, the kids were fairly well behaved and dinner was on the table no more than twenty minutes late. After squeezing in one last slice of apple pie, I unbutton the top button on my 501s, sighed, and thought to myself how glad I was that all of the holiday season hullabaloo was finally coming to an end... Then my brother pulled up a chair accross from me and said "Hey Sis, can you come tomorrow and help me decorate my house and get the fireworks ready for the New Year's Party? By the way, what food are you bringing?" I'd forget all about the danged New Year's party. Not only that, but I have three litters due on the 31st, two are maiden does!

I agreed to help set up fireworks and bring the ham and blackeyed peas, but I don't think I'll stay at the party for it's duration. I will come home early and sit with my does and go back a half hour before midnight for the fireworks... That way I can also offer any inebriated party goers heading the same direction as me a safe ride home. My final task before I can be completely finished with the holidays. I am so wore out from all the holiday hubub that I could sleep for a week straight!

On a more cheerful note, look how fast Wendy's little fuzz hoppers are growing!

I hope the rest of y'all's weekend is wonderful, warm, and cozy!

Hopefully your does will wait until after the party to kindle. Have fun, enjoy the family and friends, that is the stuff that life is made of.

Neither DD nor DW will eat mushrooms

That is a lot of little hoppers!

I'm really not much on intentionally eating fungus, molds or spores either.

Helena had her litter a day early! Ten babies, and she might not be done yet! When I checked this morning she still hadn't pulled fur, but when I went out ten minutes ago she'd pulled tons of fur and had ten kits! She has gone phyco in the last three days though. For the last three days she's been super agressive and she's normally pretty sweet. I was kinda worried I might pull back a bloody stump when I reached in to count and look for DOAs. I hope that just means she's going to be a good mom. I hope she mellows back out.

Still waiting on Zelda and Hosta. Oh, the suspense! They both look so fat and miserable... They are either going to have lots of kits or really huge kits. I'm not that great at palpating. I can palpate good enough to establish pregnancy but not well enough to guess at litter size, so it is always a surprise!

My three are due the 11 th of Jan., they were all breed on same day...one had a bunch of fur pulled out this morning on the wire and not in with hay.... they are all first timers. Any clue why she would do this ??

Either just a first timer jumping the gun or a false pregnancy. I'd go ahead a give her a nest box with bedding if she does not already have one and put the fur in at the back just so she gets the idea. Zelda always pulls her fur a week early. Some does will do that
